Proceedings of the 2023 International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME2023)Abstract:
The novelty and usefulness of the distributed signal mapping framework libmapper has been demonstrated in many projects and publications, yet its technical entry and operation requirements are often too high to be feasible as a mapping option for less-technical users. This paper focuses on completing key development tasks to overcome these barriers including improvements to software distribution and mapping session management. The impact of these changes was evaluated by asking several artists to design an interactive audiovisual installation using libmapper. Observations and feedback from the artists throughout their projects let us assess the impact of the developments on the usability of the framework, suggesting key development principles for related tools created in research contexts.
